NOTICE: We will NOT transfer ANY pistols with a stabilizing brace of any kind due to the newly published ATF Pistol Brace Rule.
As of 31 January 2023, the rule has been submitted into the Federal Register and is now in effect. ANY BRACED PISTOLS RECEIVED WILL BE SUBJECT TO NFA rules.

* Additional firearms on the SAME transfer are $5/ea. This only applies if you order multiple firearms from the SAME seller/website that arrive in the SAME shipment.
For example, if you go on a shopping spree and purchase multiple firearms from multiple sources and they arrive across multiple dates and shipments, those will count as individual transfers.
** 5 or more handguns on one transfer will incur an additional fee of $5. Purchases of more than 5 handguns or revolvers within a 30 day period require extra paperwork to be filed with the ATF.

Notes:
1. For incoming and private party NFA transfers, half of the fee ($40.00) is due when forms are submitted. Remaining balance will need to be paid when stamp comes and forms are approved.
2. For outgoing NFA transfers, the full fee is due when we take possession of the item.
3. For NFA transfers:
- If the application is submitted as an individual, there will be no need for a Virginia background check when the stamp is approved and item ready to be picked up.
- If the application is submitted as a trust, a Virginia background check will be required when the stamp is approved and item ready to be picked up* . All trust applications we be subject to an additional $2 fee.
* THIS IS A VIRGINIA REQUIREMENT. If you beleive this is not the case, please feel free to contact the Virginia State Police Firearms Transaction Center at 804-674-2292 and get informed. Also, every FFL has the option to run a background check when picking up NFA items whether they are individual or trust. It is left at the discretion of the dealer - I do not; only for trusts as required by Virginia State Police.
4. Transfer fee's are waived for NFA items purchased thru DC Arms.
